日本沼虾染色体制备的比较研究（简报）

近年来,随着水产经济动物遗传育种研究的迅速发展．对染色体制备技术的要求越来越高。十足类甲壳动物染色体的研究开展较早,但进展却相当缓慢,自一百多年前,Carnoy首次报道了褐虾和滨蟹的染色体,迄今为止已研究过的种类仅约70多种。其主要原因在于其细胞有丝分裂中期染色体形状小,不超过4um,且数目庞大,染色体标本制备和分析都较困难,仍然仅限于染色体数目统计水平。淡水虾类染色体材料与方法的研究极为稀少,     

黑冀地鳖染色体的研究

黑冀地鳖Polyphaga obscura Chop。在国内仅产于新疆南部,具有重要药用价值,本文报道用中肠肠壁细胞染色体空气干燥制片法,对其染色体核型和带型的研究,其染色体数目为2n(♀)=52。     

荞麦染色体G—带BrdU—风油精法显带的研究

本文用ＢｒｄＵ风油精法进行了荞麦染色体Ｇ带显带研究,在其有丝分裂晚前期,早中期和中期的染色体上均显示出了Ｇ带带纹。但是,随着分裂时期的进展,染色体上出现的带纹数目依次减少。ＢｒｄＵ和风油精在染色体显带中的作用是使染色体伸长,并增大染色体线性区段间的差异,故显示出Ｇ带。     

氧化葡萄糖酸杆菌SCB329染色体的测定

对氧化葡萄糖酸杆菌(\%Gluconobacter oxydans\%)SCB329的纯培养进行了研究,测定了其生长曲线,确定其对数期为4～27h。获得纯培养的对数期菌体后采用凝胶包埋法制备完整染色体,用脉冲场电泳方法对SCB329的染色体进行了分析,确定其有一条染色体和一个大质粒。染色体的长度在22Mb到35Mb之间。     

林麝染色体制备方法及核型与G-带带型研究

以林麝外周血淋巴细胞为实验材料,在培养基中加入植物血球凝集素PHA和伴刀豆球蛋白ConA,由此建立了适合其增殖的培养体系。培养75h后,用空气干燥法制备染色体,确定林麝核型是2N=58,且全都是端着丝粒染色体。实验结果还表明,通过获得较晚的中期分裂相,可以确定染色体是端着丝粒不是亚端着丝粒类型。同时首次应用染色体G-带技术,研究了林麝染色体的G-带带型。

除人Ｙ染色体外,本文采用生物素标记的人全部整条染色体特异探针与白眉长臂猿有丝分裂中期分裂相进行染色体原位杂交即染色体涂染法以研究人和白眉长臂猿染色体之间的同源性。在白眉长臂猿１８对常染色体上检测出了与人２２对常染色体同源的５９对染色体片段,确定了人和白眉长臂猿之间的精度较高的染色体连锁群。结果表明：自人与白眉长臂猿的祖长分歧以来,大量的染色体间重排（至少发生了３９次易位）和染色体内的重排导致了二者     

鳞翅目昆虫染色体的研究方法

本研究以鳞翅目昆虫睾丸为材料,在常规压片法基础上引进空气干燥法进行改良。得到高清晰度的昆虫染色体图谱。睾丸在不同的低渗液里处理后,置入卡诺氏液固定,然后用空气干燥法制片,Giemsa液染色。结果表明这一方法制备所得到的昆虫染色体图,不仅染色体分散好,而且染色体的细微结构较清晰。     

淡水涡虫染色体的制备方法

以涡虫的再生组织为材料,用秋水仙素处理长有再生组织的涡虫片段,并通过改善各种实验条件,得到高清晰度的染色体图谱。结果表明,本方法简便易行,制成的染色体分散好,形态清晰,适用于对涡虫染色体的进一步研究。     

利用染色体涂染方法建立人和白眉长臂猿(Hylobates hoolock)的比较染色体图谱

除人Y染色体外,本文采用生物素标记的人全部整条染色体特异探针与白眉长臂猿(Hylobates hoolock)有丝分裂中期分裂相进行染色体原位杂交即染色体涂染法以研究人和白眉长臂猿染色体之间的同源性。在白眉长臂猿18对常染色体上检测出了与人22对常染色体同源的59对染色体片段,确定了人和白眉长臂猿之间的精度较高的染色体连锁群。结果表明:自人与白眉长臂猿的祖先分歧以来,大量的染色体间重排(至少发生了39次易位)和染色体内的重排导致了二者核型的差异。根据杂交结果绘制了首份人和白眉长臂猿比较染色体图谱,并结合已有的人和白掌长臂猿(Hylobates lar)(2n=44)和合趾长臂猿(Hylobates syndactylus)(2n=50)的比较染色体图谱对长臂猿属的染色体进化作了初步的探讨。     

水稻染色体标本制备的风油精法

水稻的染色体较小,不同的染色体在形态上较难区分。常规的压片技术由于很难使染色体分散,且也不能完全排除细胞质的干扰,因而很不适用于水稻染色体核型分析及显带。Kurata 等(1978)采用酶解与火焰干燥技术制备水稻染色体标本,获得清晰的染色体图象,从而成功地进行了水稻染色体的核型分析。陈瑞阳等(1982)参照人类染色体     

普通小麦栽培品种丰抗13的4B—1D染色体易位的鉴定

通过细胞学观察,在普通小麦栽培品种“丰抗13”和“京红1号”的杂交后代中,发现有多价体出现,这就表明有染色体易位发生。为进一步弄清究竟是哪条染色体发生了易位,我们采用单体测交方法,观察鉴定所有各单体系F_1的花粉母细胞第一次减数分裂中期Ⅰ(以下简称PMCs中Ⅰ)染色体构型。从鉴定结果发现,凡2n=42的F_1 PMCs中Ⅰ出现19~Ⅱ 1~Ⅳ,而2n=41的F_1PMCs中Ⅰ的染色体构型不同,单体与易位有关的两个单体系4B和1D F_1 PMCs中的Ⅰ构型中有部分呈现为19个二价体加1个三价体,即19~Ⅱ 1~Ⅲ,没有单价体,而其余各单体系F_1 PMCs中Ⅰ构型则表现为18个二价体,1个四价体和1个单价体,即18~Ⅱ 1~Ⅰ 1~Ⅳ。因此,可以肯定“丰抗13”存在1个染色体易位,其有关染色体就是4B和1D。     

The high variability of subtelomeric heterochromatin and connections between nonhomologous chromosomes, suggest frequent ectopic recombination in rye meiocytes

The position of telomeres, centromeres and subtelomeric heterochromatin (SH) has been studied by FISH in rye meiocytes. We compare the morphology of the signals from zygotene to telophase II mainly to determine differences in SH and telomere positions between plants with and without neocentromeres. Plants from two varieties were used: Paldang showing neocentromeres, and Puyo without neocentromeres but with two B chromosomes. In both varieties, at zygotene and pachytene the SH is observed forming clumps often including two or more bivalent ends. At diplotene the SH is stretched suggesting that it is close to the nuclear envelope. In these cases, the telomere signals are not stretched and lay behind the SH. Frequently, two or more bivalents are joined by conspicuous SH connections at diplotene strongly suggesting ectopic recombination. Probably as a result, differential distribution of the SH between recombinant homologues or the whole meiotic products is observed. From diplotene onwards, the large heterochromatic blocks cover the telomeres, the SH being the morphological end of the bivalents, both in plants with or without neocentromeres. The Bs are tightly associated only at the telomeric end of the long arm from diplotene to metaphase I. The high variability between homologous chromosomes and the frequent nonhomologous bindings of SH, strongly suggest that rye SH is in dynamic state and frequently changes in chromosome position during meiosis.     

THE QUESTION OF POST-REDUCTION IN SPHAGNUM

The 19 spatially distinct chromosomal units at first meiotic metaphase in sporophytically diploid species of Sphagnum have usually been considered to be bivalents, but one investigator (Sorsa, 1956) has interpreted them as chromosomes from dissociated bivalents and meiosis as post-reductional. The present studies on diploid S. squarrosum (Pers.) Crome establish the chromosome number on the basis of the following evidence: there are in addition to m-chromosomes, 19 pairs of chromosomes in early prophase, 19 bivalents at diakinesis, 19 chromosomes in each of the two sets at second metaphase, 19 daughter chromosomes in each of the four sets at late second anaphase, and 19 chromosomes in gametophytic mitoses. The 19 bodies at first meiotic metaphase in diploid species are true bivalents in loose secondary association, which has led to their erroneous interpretation as chromosomes of dissociated bivalents. The gametic chromosome number in sporophytically diploid Sphagnum is therefore, without doubt, n = 19, and this evidence negates the claim for post-reduction in Sphagnum.     

Cytological studies of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (tetranychidae,trombidiformes) II. Meiosis in growing oocytes

The morphology and behaviour of the holokinetic chromosomes of Tetranychus urticae Koch were studied in maturing oocytes from diplotene up to and including metaphase. Each of the three diplotene bivalents contains 2–3 chiasmata.During congression the dyads of the axially orientated bivalents make turning movements in opposite directions till they have reached an equatorial orientation which leads to an equational first meiotic division.It was argued that chiasmata terminalise towards both ends of the dyads and that each dyad contains two sister chromatids.It has been supposed that the inverted meiosis of organisms with holokinetic chromosomes can be brought about by the way in which chiasmata terminalise and the kinetochores are assembled subsequently on each chromatid.During congression vesicular strands form a Feulgen-negative zone round the bright plasm in which the bivalents are embedded. The question was raised whether these strands originate from the dense plasm surrounding each of the diplotene bivalents and bear some relation to the elimination chromatin present during the meiotic telophases.This investigation was supported by research grants from the Ministry of Public Health and Environment and from the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (Z.W.O.).     

An analysis of the chromomere map and chiasmata characteristics of human diplotene spermatocytes

A complete chromomere map of early/mid diplotene human spermatocytes has been developed which permits identification of each bivalent. Bivalents 9, 16, 17, and 19 demonstrated unique cytogenetic characteristics at this meiotic stage. The mean chiasma frequency per spermatocyte was 45.33 +/- 4.52 (ranging from 32 to 58) with 28% of bivalents having one chiasma, 38% having two, and 27% having three. The remaining 7% had four or more chiasmata. Fifty-eight percent of chiasmata were located distally, 31% centrally, and 11% proximally. Univalents were rare. The availability of human diplotene spermatocyte maps permits exploration of many basic questions of recombination with accuracy.     

利用鱼腥藻作为饲料的研究

鱼腥藻粉作为肉鸡、全雌鲤、青虾和对虾的饲料研究结果表明:2％的鱼腥藻粉替代鱼粉作为肉鸡饲料试验,肉鸡的个体平均增重效果与对照相当,屠宰率、半净膛率和全净膛率都有所提高;同时还具有改善肉质色泽的效果。对重金属的含量分析发现,食鱼腥藻的鸡除锌的含量略高外,铜、铁、锰、镉及铝的含量都低于对照组。添加2％的鱼腥藻粉在网箱中进行小试和大面积试验,结果都表明鱼腥藻粉对全雌鲤的生长有明显的效果,并能提高全雌鲤鱼种的成活率和降低饵料系数,利用鱼腥藻粉配合饲料在网箱和大面积养殖青虾试验表明,具有促进生长,提高产量的作用.对虾试验结果表明,在饵料中添加2％的鱼腥藻粉,饲喂45d后,对虾的体长增加了14.49％;体重增加了10.43％。这些研究结果表明利用鱼腥藻作为家禽及水产养殖动物的饲料具有相当大的应用前景。     

Crossing over is coupled to late meiotic prophase bivalent differentiation through asymmetric disassembly of the SC

Homologous chromosome pairs (bivalents) undergo restructuring during meiotic prophase to convert a configuration that promotes crossover recombination into one that promotes bipolar spindle attachment and localized cohesion loss. We have imaged remodeling of meiotic chromosome structures after pachytene exit in Caenorhabditis elegans. Chromosome shortening during diplonema is accompanied by coiling of chromosome axes and highly asymmetric departure of synaptonemal complex (SC) central region proteins SYP-1 and SYP-2, which diminish over most of the length of each desynapsing bivalent while becoming concentrated on axis segments distal to the single emerging chiasma. This and other manifestations of asymmetry along chromosomes are lost in synapsis-proficient crossover-defective mutants, which often retain SYP-1,2 along the full lengths of coiled diplotene axes. Moreover, a gamma-irradiation treatment that restores crossovers in the spo-11 mutant also restores asymmetry of SYP-1 localization. We propose that crossovers or crossover precursors serve as symmetry-breaking events that promote differentiation of subregions of the bivalent by triggering asymmetric disassembly of the SC.     

Haploid meiosis and its bearing on the phylogeny of pearl millet,Pennisetum typhoides stapf et hubb.

Meiotic chromosome associations in a spontaneously originated haploid plant of pearl millet have been studied and their phyletic significance discussed. Chromosome pairing could be observed at pachytene and diplotene. Out of a total of 285 PMC's studied at diakinesis-metaphase 1, 43 showed one bivalent and 7 had two bivalents per cell. Both rod- and ring-bivalents were observed. Apart from synapsis accompanied by chiasma formation, close associations of univalent chromosomes were observed. Out of 150 cells without true bivalents, 41 showed 1 s-s association and five, 2 s-s pairs per cell. On the basis of the realization of a maximum of two bivalents per cell, as also of a maximum of 2 s-s pairs, it has been inferred that the chromosome complement ofP. typhoides (n=7) has evolved from a basic set ofn=5 chromosomes. Other available evidence supporting this inference is also discussed.
